Andi Bell explains the `link method` memory technique [2/2]

This is a cut segment from a larger documentary on the brain titled "BBC - Get Smart"; It reveals some of the techniques used by world champion Andi Bell.

Andi holds the current world record for speed cards of 31.16 seconds. You can see more of his results at http://web.aanet.com.au/memorysports/competitor.php?id=11 .

Andi Bell isn't an autistic savant, meerly someone who has trained their brain to be able to memorize and codify information in the brain using advanced mnemonic techniques.

If you're interested in this kind of thing, let me know. I'll be happy to give you more information. You can email me at tranceriver@gmail.com , and I will happily respond. I love emails :). I will 100% respond.

Hopefully you will enjoy this video as much as I did.

This is the second half of two videos that I've uploaded. The first is located here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-xl7_hdWZo , making this 2/2 .]

Enjoy!

@DXAnimeRockzXD Has it worked?

[DXAnimeRockzXD]

Would this work for 120 words AND definitions as well? Plus about 30 root words and definitions to those root words? (hopes it does *studies*) =_=""

Try (USE YOUR PERFECT MEMORY)

by Tony Buzan. A great little book that starts off with the basics of memory techniques.

I am sure this will help you. I read on Amazon this book was given to a patient by a neurologist. The patient has given it a really good review on Amazon saying how much it has helped him. And I for one really enjoyed this book. Helped me out tremendously. Good luck.

Basically, you can memorise new info more easily if you make links and connections with things you already know.

@babtash85 Oh the technique works, but they don't tell you the amount of "bloody work" is to find different places, and get familiar with them, you have to touch the places, see them clearly, walk around them. Then you have to make your own stories making sure you have a starting point and an end to your story.

So its only amazing after you build a huge number of places you do remember, that is it! some hard work before you can use the trick.

I just don't understand this method. My memory has been poor since I had an accident 2 years ago and I'm desperately trying to get it back. This doesn't work. I'm not retarded or anything, I can learn, I can remember, I just can't do it as well as I used to. I'd love a tecnique to improve my memory, I just can't find one that works. Please reply if you think you've found something that might help. Thank you
